(1) Observing through thin clouds. Seeing in the acquisition image is around 2", but the DIMM seeing is 0.6" to 1". Seeing improving so we decided to stick with the 1" slit. 1200s in gr11+16 (increased exptime from standard OB to account for clouds).

(2) Still some thin clouds. We lost time here since there was a problem focusing the telescope. 2*2700s Gr11. S/N looks quite low.

(3) Lost more time again since the image analysis needed to be re-done due to improved conditions. No clouds now.

(5) Some time lost since the wrong target was selected at first. Not sure what this is - SNID thinks it could be a Ib/c, but can't find a nice fit. Spectrum is a little bit red. Strong emission at ~7100A which looks to have a narrow and broader component.
